What do you think happened in the right field on the obverse? What would you think otherwise?   |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

It looks like environmental damage rather than repaired surfaces. The entire obverse looks like it has ED and that area between the forearm and knee is funky. I would say it was sitting at the bottom of the ocean except the reverse looks fine.

AU details. Die clash for sure. May be some evidence of old ED in right obverse field, which may have been the reason for cleaning.
